If anyone is interested, someone posted JenesisX's Irony of Fate here: ./

The AOL page is gone so it's recorded on there. It's pretty decent so far and credit is given to JenesisX.

Hi, I really love your fics. I've read Irony of Fate a long time ago (years really) and I felt I wanted to go back and read it again. I almost had a heart attack when I saw that aol had shutdown hometown. I really hope (beg) you decide to show your fanfics somewhere else, it would be a shame to loose them. I really enjoy your work and hope to hear from you.

I know real life really takes over (I'm 25 and my fanfic time has gone WAY down), but I really enjoy looking back on fanfics I read in the past and yours are some of the ones I've read a couple of times. While certainly AU (I'm an Aeris/Sephiroth fan so that's great), IoF is a great piece of fiction. I really like the way you characterize Sephiroth and Vincent. The father/son relationship they have is a very good read. I'd love to see IoA and your other fics even if you don't have plans to continue fanfic writting (which would be horrible, but I know RL is way more important than writing fanfics).

Even if you decide not to post them elsewhere I want you to know I really appreciate your work and wish you the best.

I read your fic too! Actually on the 52st chapter! It is the best English Sephris I have ever read! (I am french) . Excuse me please, for the poor lengh of the review but I can't find my words in english to describ all of the feeling I got reading it. (Beside, an impossible headache just won't leave me alone! X/ ) Just know that you can't imiagine how much this fic touched me. I am glad of the time you took to write it!

Yours forever,

Silvara

I'm currently on chapter 6 of your story, so there's a long way to go yet. First of all I must commemorate you for writing such a long story, and actually finishing it. Many great authors who have written long epics have been unable to wrap them up.

That said, there were just a few things that bugged me, and which I think would greatly improve your story. The characters are quite OOC, but that didn't bother me as much as the fact that some seemed really two dimensional. Like Cloud's orignial reaction to Sephiroth. Pure anger? I know Sephiroth would be on CLoud's #1 hit list but Cloud never actually show that much emotion, even if it is anger. During the Neibelheim buring episode he rambles on about his sadness, and after the death of Aeris he only says stuff like how Aeris will no longer laugh, smile, etc... So his unfiltered anger towards Sephiroth and his single mindedness kind of bothered me, especially since the main character is usually the least two dimensional.

The thing that bothered me the more than that, I guess was the overtelling of the story. We readers are intelligent! (Seriously, we are!) So telling us too thing we should be easily able to figure out for ourself will only drag a good story down.

Eg. Chp 6, para 2

'How would Cloud react to Sephiroth's request to join the party? Aeris wondered for quite possibly the hundredth time in the last hour and a half. She knew none of the others would be thrilled, most especially Tifa, but it was Cloud's reaction that worried her most. She was convinced that Sephiroth was genuine in his request, but she knew it would not be easy to convince Cloud, or any of the others, of the same.'

'Stating the fact' kind of narration can work well in dialogues as an irony factor, but it really isn't neccessary in character thoughts.

Other than that, there is only a few small spelling and grammar errors which I won't be bothered mentioning. Keep on writing! _

Hey... I read back in your site that you lost interest... Oh well. I do wish that you would continue, but if you don't want to, its your decision.

This is a great fic, and entertaind me, and probably many others for quite a long time. Best of luck with the rest of your life.

I've read this entire fic at least 20 times. Scary, ne? XD You'd have many, many more people worshipping you if you continued putting it up here (considering i've read fics up to 120 chapters long, it wouldn't be that unusual), so really length doesn't matter much. _ But, to each their own, eh? Anyway, I'm gonna go to your site and read it again, just for good measure. _

Oh! I am SO pleased to see you back in the realm of the living. I absolutly HATE AU fics, except yours. Yours is quite possibly the best fanfic I have ever read, and I am so happy to see you active in it once again. I've been following this story since about Chapter 16, and I waited, every other week for the next chapter for, jeez, HOW many years? J/K .. Also, to the moron who reviewed near the top: Listen, fuckweed, some people enjoy writing. You think you can comprehend that? This fanfic OBVIOUSLY doesn't run her life because she took almost a two year hiatus, and little montly breaks in between. Anyway, best of luck, and your au fanfic has won my respect. Good job!

Well, I must say it's great that you're still around. You're stories are as great as ever, improving in fact. Don't mind the trolls. They do tend to put other people down to bring themselves up. You just keep on writing and I'll keep on reading. Cheers!

I read this on your website a while back... I liked it. You're a good FFVII writer. .

Jesus Christ on a pogo stick, I remember this story. I didn't like it back then and I am even less fond of it now. But your hubris is what really surprises me. Do you actually think a significant number of people care that much about your story? My god, it seems like your life revolves around fanfiction from your novel called "Author notes". I do not know if I should pity you or run far away. Anyway, this single terribly OOC story has spawned so many bad OOC imitations that I wish it would just shrivel up and die somewhere dark.

hello Jen u probaly don't no who i am but i've been falowing ur fic since the begging*since u first started wrighting it* but i nvr e-mailed u up untill u made ur return

well heres my score for this fic

10/10

congrats ur the only person to evr recive a perfect score *applauds*

and i wish u good fortun in the futre

When I read this first chapter here, I had to go to your site to read the rest. I'd already read the short stories that made up the prelude, and I enjoyed them emmensly. Thus, I spend 3 days of spring break reading this story. Last night I was up until 1 am... I must say it is one of the best stories I've ever read. I loved how you made the characters keep on building on each other (especially Sephiroth). At times I wanted to hug the characters and cheer, and other times I found myself flipping off the screen I was so mad at them. Sometimes, it was the same character (*cough*Cloud*cough*) in the same chapter even. Anyway I began reading the sequal, and you had asked if htere was any difference in your writing style. It seems pretty much the same, but the only real difference is that now Cid actually curses ainstead of using symbols.

Well, anyway, thanks for the work and devotion you've put into this story. It was highly entertaining and it satisfied my seen to read fanfiction very well.

Woo-hoo! I am soo thrilled that you've posted this here! I read this for the first time about a month ago. I love this story! You write very well. The characters are all in character, AND the plot makes sense (heaven forbid!).

I can't wait for the next chapter of Battlegrounds, by the way! Keep up the excellent work!

when i saw ur pen name, i thought it looked famillair. and then i remembered your story Irony of Fate. i read it about a year ago, and i remember that i loved it. i read it in like 3 or 4 days! i loved the sephXaeris coupling... and you just made me fall in love with sephiroth. well, i just wanted to drop you a little note to tell you how i felt. the story was great, and i think i may read it over so i can know what is going on in Battlegrounds. i remember when i last read, Battlegrounds wasn't even started, i dont think. but anyway, off a go. Great story, i say again!
